• Make sure your camera has enough airflow around it for proper ventilation. The safe case temperature during operation
is from 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F).
• Mount the camera body in a fixed position where it will not be subject to excessive vibration.
• To reduce stress on the camera connectors and cable, loop the cable and fasten it to the camera's mounting block. Do
not crimp or tie the cable tightly with wire ties as this may damage it internally. The cable's minimum bend radius is fif-
teen times the cable diameter. It is not intended for continuous flexing or movement. Be sure that cables are safely
routed away from vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
• Check the intended installation area to be sure there is enough room for the camera and any lighting that may be
needed.
• Avoid areas with excessive heat, vibration, and environmental contaminants.
• Mount cameras away from devices that emit large amounts of electromagnetic energy.
Before you install the camera
Temperature Precaution: If your camera arrives in very hot or cold weather, allow it to reach room temperature before
using it. Wait for any condensation to dry completely before connecting it to the M-Series Processor or power.
Carefully remove the camera and cabling from the shipping package and inspect each item. Save all packing materials so
you can repack the camera in case you need to move or ship it.
NOTE: Do not leave the camera imager uncovered. When you remove the lens cap, you must replace it with a lens.
Do NOT attempt to clean the camera imager or imager cover. Do NOT spray the imager or imager cover with compressed
gas as this may leave spots.
